No, what this boils down to is that pot gets you high and a lot of people abuse it to avoid dealing with their feelings and problems. That is a totally reasonable concern for any healthcare provider to have and for there to be a general preference for prescribing other medications that don’t have those drawbacks.

People ITT are just butthurt about their pro-marijuana politics. And this isn’t the first post in this community I’ve seen featuring politics-laden comments that question real science because it’s inconvenient. My opinion of this community is dropping fast.

Man, you’re so upset about my comment you had to respond to it three separate times? I think you should probably get off the internet or at least Lemmy for a while.

There are plenty of antidepressants that don’t have a risk of increases in SI.

No, I wouldn’t recommend using THC to manage any emotion because there are more effective drugs with fewer side effects, typically.

Wow, what a strong and well-articulated argument. Reminds me of people who argue that alcohol is an effective treatment for all those ailments.

Theres a difference between using a drug to keep emotional problems within manageable limits while engaging in therapy to arrive at more permanent solutions and abusing it to mask negative emotions as a way to avoid dealing with them. You don’t sound like you appreciate that difference, meaning you’re probably just defending substance abuse and addiction, perhaps as problems in your own life. If so, please seek help. Regardless, you don’t seem to understand the problem.

It depends how you mean it. I prefer Imperial measurements because they’re what I’m used to but I honestly think the U.S. should join the rest of the world and use the Metric system.

Thank you saving me the clicks.

Like it or not, in mainstream parlance, Antifa doesn’t signify simply being anti-fascist; it signifies being one of those people that goes to KKK and Neo-Nazi marches and intentionally starts fights. And that is very far-left.

Do you not watch the news IRL? Pro-Palestinian protests have been in the headlines practically since the Hamas terrorist attacks on 10/7/23. I’m not sure how you’ve missed them.

Happy Hate Men Day!

Because that’s what this is. It’s not a celebration of women, it’s an occasion for women to hate on men. Which is, sadly, what feminism has become.

Shame.

Are you serious? That is some extraordinarily low effort. It’s like you didn’t even bother searching yourself before making this post.

Interesting fact totally ignored by the click-bait headline:

Among women, 18% of gen Z and 6% of baby boomers agreed.

So, among women, support for traditional gender roles tripled.

It’s different when all the fronts you’re engaging have no real ability to attack you back.

I have considered abandoning Lemmy multiple times. It’s a bit too chock full of far leftists who think it’s fine to do unprovoked violence to far right people under the “punch a Nazi” slogan. I find many of the hypocritical tendencies I fled on Reddit can be found here, just from a slightly different slice of the political spectrum.

Very good news indeed.

I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.

I agree. Just clarifying why I think people are calling for him to go to prison.

I think the assumption is that they were underage, trafficked women.

They get exposed to Hollywood’s party/drug culture very early, that’s for sure. But I think the home environment is the most critical factor. If you’ve got psycho parents who are trying to live vicariously through you or simply see you as a cash cow, they’re going to fuck you up way more than Hollywood can.

Also, there’s something to be said for the psychological impact of becoming successful, having your “15 minutes of fame,” and then fading into obscurity. That’s got to mess with your self-esteem big time.

Good. Political violence is never justified against people simply holding signs. That student should be charged with assault and punished according to the law. People defending them here are no better than ICE agents. Fuck y’all.
